Yas Island Bars and Restaurants

Re: Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
The Burj Al Arab doesn't charge an entrance fee, but you do need to have a booking either for drinks or dinner, which is normal.
I like a nice pie as much as the next person, but it certainly doesn't swing my opinion on AD lol.
I agree that I am suited to Dubai, it's superior to AD in most aspects.

Re: Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
AD are getting more of the big acts due to Dubai's money problems. AD helped Dubai with it's cashflow and in exchange required that most big events are to be held in AD from now on.
To be honest I don't know why anyone would have attended the DSC event this weekend, it sounded like a load of rubbish to me.

Re: Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
I think AD is taking over from Dubai in the popularity stakes, all the big name acts are heading to AD. Dubai Sound City event over the weekend here in Dubai apparently was very poorly attended. I haven't been to Yas Island but am hoping to visit later this month. Is this hotel that is charging 100 to get in the one on the actual track?
In fact scratch that, it wasn't even 'full of hasbeen bands' as half of them had notes from their mum to explain why they couldn't make it.
The guys at New Dawn must be extremely pissed with that.

Re: Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
Dubai Sound City really was a case of bad timing. I mean who would hold a music festival full of has been bands a week after you have had the likes of Timbaland, Beyonce, JK and Kings of Leon?

Bands appearing in AD have nothing to do with some mythical 'event v cashflow' deal.
It has more to do with the fact that Dubai has a 10% tax on ticket sales.
And obviously the AD F1 had a massive budget to create a spectacular for its opening, as well as Beyonce already having an F1 appearance deal.
Don't you just love the people that know sweet FA.
